Cool stuff!

No FPS counter on screen, but it certainly looks like it's working. Looks like there's major stuttering on explosion effects. Running around the world looks smooth. The graphics look super flat to me, but maybe that's an emulation error.
Why would anybody hope that? The Wii U is a dead console, if people want to buy a copy of Wii U BotW and play it on their PC how does that negatively impact anyone? At this point its easier to pirate the game for free on Wii U than it is to dump the game and get it running in CEMU.
Edit: I realize there isn't really a rational answer to that question, let's just treat it as me being frustrated with people out loud.

Well.....that was fast. Exzap fixed that unimplemented system call right away lol.
Looks like it has a ways to go until fully playable though. Hopefully the early testers pounding away on it will help speed things along.
Yeah looks like a lot of world detail is simply not there. Seems like there's a lot of unimplemented stuff that the emulator never had to deal with before running other games. Getting to correctly emulated may be quite some time yet.

Very good stuff all around!
The clip was actually far more impressive performance wise than I expected :0
Keeping right up with docked Switch in terms of framerate!
Also lol @ Link just sinking knee deep into the ground when the camera pans upwards. Amazing.

Cemu developers are wizards confirmed
As the developer puts it, it's not really a matter of the GPU you have. Cemu is largely CPU bound.
EDIT2: dat edit
People want to have made "the right choice" to justify their purchase even though there is no right choice since both options are perfectly viable.

Oh maaaaan I've not gotten excited about the idea yet, but..
This thing would probably look OK coming out of my 1080

It's a preview so it'll probably still run better than this.

I think people have run Cemu in 4K on a 680. GPU seems to mean nothing on this emulator.
I feel like I should chip in $5 on the Patreon and help support this development effort
The time in the bottom right that normally advances 5 minutes every 5 real seconds takes about 7 seconds to advance (minus stuttering), so it looks like it's running around 70% speed. Pretty impressive.
That's basically full speed for BoTW

60fps is probably not going to happen for a while, nothing emulated on cemu so far that ran at 30fps on wii U has been available at 60fps on cemu

Probaaaably gonna wait to play the Wii U version on CEMU now.

One quick question: you need both the console and the game to legally emulate it, right?

Playing BOTW on an emulator will not magically make it run at 60 fps. It won't go over the max framerate the original system is bound to. Which is 30 for this game.
Example; Zelda games cannot be run at higher framerates despite Dolphin being an incredible emulator with many options. It's just not possible.
Of course, unless CEMU team wants to implement tech that allows framerate caps to be bypassed, which is something I'm pretty sure no emulator has done before.

For all of you Cemu users (pirates):
Breath of the Wild wasn't made for PC. It wasn't made for you. When the team poured their heart out for the game, spending thousands of hours on art, music, story, characters, landscape, fun mechanics, anything that made the game what it is they weren't think of you- an overweight pirating neckbeard who doesn't have any respect for art or effort because they've never experienced either in their lives and probably never will. The ones they were thinking of, the people who have enough love and respect for art to purchase the intended console and the game at full price are the only ones who get the full experience as it was meant to be. If they are human beings, the emulating PC shit race is more akin to a leech, no, a tick.

lol saving this for future use
This means we'll be able to summon stuff available only through amiibos?
This Zelda is a little particular:
- Forced double buffered vsync.
- Logic not tied to framerate.
- Menu runs at 60fps.
So maybe the game is able to run at 60fps with enough power, depending on whether it is deliberately capped during gameplay.

amiibo support has been in for a while
though limited to read-only uses, so it works for unlocking stuff in mario kart 8 but not for the new features in splatoon where it also records onto the amiibo. I believe the amiibo support should work fine in BotW.Of course not, that would be stupid.
You only theoretically need a console if the emulator needs a BIOS file or NAND copy, as the only way to legally get one is dumping it from your own console.

if you want to dump the game, you need a wii u console.
so the only way to play botw in cemu without pirating it is by owning a wii u.

You can dump the game on someone else's Wii U, so no.

Nah, you can also use a friend's Wii U like I do eheh
. I actually bought quite a few Wii U games without ever buying a Wii U.Unknown Soldier

The faster the better. I don't think there's a "minimum" though, you can just try it on what you have and see what happens.

Nice!
Turns out buying the WiiU Version of BotW was a good decision.
1080p/60fps BotW...
You mean 4k/30fps? Or 60fps patches are being done in CEMU? I havent been following much as I should.

Would it be ready April 28? Docked performance sucks for a new console remaster.
